Rothariger,

 

I assume your wanting to "retrieve" the Date TagID stored in the picture.

 

Something like this:

 

 
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
...
...

Dim img As Image = Image.FromFile(dlg.FileName)

For Each iPI As PropertyItem In img.PropertyItems

      Select Case iPI.Id

            Case 306 'PropertyTag DateTime

                imgDateTime = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(iPI.Value)

            Case 36867 'PropertyTag ExifDTOrig

                imgExifDTOrig = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(iPI.Value)

            Case 36868 'PropertyTagExif DTDigitized

                imgDTDigitized = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(iPI.Value)
               
End Select
...
...
